Berlin • Students in Italy symbolically torched a replica of planet Earth on Friday, part of a second wave of worldwide protests demanding swifter action to fight climate change.
The demonstrations were sparked by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, with many participants echoing the anger she expressed to world leaders this week at a U.N. summit in New York.
"How dare you!" read one banner at a rally in Italy's financial hub of Milan, where tens of thousands took to the streets and later gathered around a giant globe to watch it go up in flames.
